They should put a full media ban and Saintsational ban on every player at the club to ensure they don't get caught up in this garbage. Think you'll find the players aren't getting caught up in anything. The only pressure on the players is formed by the media and fans alike. These blokes as a group ...

Some poor bugger of a journo asked him a question in the press conference about our KPI's. Ross absolutely destroyed the bloke, questioning him in detail about the stats, correcting him and then finally asking "who are you exactly?" Well well well....... now we know EXACTLY what rodgerfox...

What a fantastic dilemma to have by the way.

Sitting there watching last night, to me it almost feels as if players are going hell-for-leather because they know that if they don't perform to a satisfactory level that they could be dropped.

It's great stuff!

That's one hell of a forward line!

Very tall. Hope it's a dry day

Wouldn't want the paper to get wet hey

J. Gwilt - 2 weeks

I would suggest he knows more than ALL posters!

I haven't read the whole thread, so I might be going over old ground here, but AFAIAC, Lyon has not made a mistake all year, and the results bear that up. I have no idea why Gwilt was selected in preference to Goose, cannot see why we cannot rest a few guys going in to finals, and what's up with Ga...

Begs the question, who IS our real rival?

1. Tony Lockett
2. Wayne Carey
3. Gary Ablett Snr
4. Robert Harvey
5. Greg Williams
6. Nick Riewoldt
7. Peter Daicos
8. Nicky Winmar
9. Dermott Brereton
10. Tim Watson

Just missed: Micky Conlan, Darren Jarman, Stephen Silvagni, Jason Dunstall, Bernie Quinlan

Ins: Max, Micky G, Gwilt
Outs: Kosi, Dawson, Eddy

imo of course.

At the end of the day, all those posters that said Lyon will not rest players were wrong!!!!! So far he has rested Ball, Kosi and Zac. I admit, he may not have had a choice in some, but he has rested players. Now he needs to sneak in a week off for Lenny, Rooey, Dal and BJ. You really are quite ins...

Exception to every rule. Plus they were playing the saints

Touche!

A great read.

Seconded

Henwood is interesting. A "bruiser" of a player who played with Glenelg before being recruited by Sydney and having a short career with that club. Wayne Henwood now specialises in law. I have a fair idea that no one on this forum knows exactly what happened when the tribunal retired to de...

Hi all If we played home games at Etihad against interstate teams, where is the incentive for members to purchase Reserved Seats? (of which I am one myself). If members don't continue to renew their Reserved Seats the Club loses income. It's flawed thinking as far as I am concerned. We only need to...

No.... see 2005 Qualifying Final against Adelaide.

I would not want St kilda going into the Qualifying final at 22 and 0 playing Collingwood or Carlton at the MCG. The pressure on our players would be unbearable. Imagine if we went into the Grand Final at 24 and 0. What would the pressure on the players be like then? Sorry not sure why you think th...

Hi all Long time reader first time poster, so hi to all - enjoying the ride so far! Nick, need to pull you up - Essendon have 8 games at Etihad, the only Home games at the 'G are against the so-called (I use that term loosely) "Big 3". If we played home games at Etihad against interstate t...
